The frustration that voters are expressing in 2010 goes much deeper than specific policies. At a more fundamental level, voters just dont believe politicians are interested in the opinions of ordinary Americans.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% believe the nations Political Class doesnt care what most Americans think. Only 15% believe the Political Class is interested in the views of those they are supposed to serve. Another 17% are not sure.
Skepticism about the Political Class interest in voters is found across just about all demographic and partisan groups. However, self-identified liberals are evenly divided on the question. Eighty-eight percent (88%) of conservatives and 64% of moderates reject the notion that the Political Class cares.
Adults over 40 are more skeptical than younger adults about the Political Class. But even among voters under 30, nearly half (47%) dont think the Political Class cares what most Americans think. Only 18% of these younger voters think the Political Class does care, while 35% are not sure.
68% Say Political Class Doesn?t Care What Most Americans Think - Rasmussen Reports
I find that interesting. Liberals depended on those younger voters to get Obama elected.
That nearly half of them are losing faith with liberals (and let's face it, that IS the political class in DC) says a LOT.
Things aren't looking good for November, and I can't wait.
